.....After a totally stupid commercial on TV for men to buy Valentines day gifts for their wife... So I don't get any half dead roses or strange pajamas... Wife says what would you like for Valentine's day, honey? Nothing... what do you want? Probably fish and shrimp. And some See's candy. Don't you have enough fish?...... or do they just die and you need to buy more? Ah, sometimes they die for various reasons, but not that often. Just trying to get the right combination to make me happy. Oh, if it makes you happy... 30 years and still going!

what's your address? I'm sending some kissing gouramis!!!!

I'm not really here... fell in the tank and my phone is just that smart

I live alone. I still have the option of waterproofing a whole room and stocking it with fish. This thread has given me some laughs though.

So anyway, my niece told me that she thought she saw me in town the other day but never sang out because i walked past the fish shop and she thought it must not be me. I told her that I had to pay rent which is only 100 metres from the LFS so i was getting there before it closed. The LFS closes 1/2 hour later and i was not going to be out in time to pay rent otherwise. She missed a trip to the pet shop with her Uncle (she often visits he LFS with me but she is more interested in creatures with fur or feathers).

My sister tends to forecast me getting sick of tanks fairly soon. I have kept one tank for about 7 years with a religion forming for me about weekly 50% WC. I have been buying a whole lot more tanks & fish recently though. I had mistakenly thought that keeping tropical fish would be harder than Cold water fish. I pointed out that last weekend they never had a bird or an aviary at their house. This week they have a biggish cage inside with 4 budgies and she wants me to keep an eye out for large averies for sale locally now for her so she can get 5-6 more and begin her breeding operation. I predict she will tire of budgies when she finds a mouse in their food.
